Hi,
I inherited some files from my predecessor, in which there are so many
external links to so many other files. I need to know which cells are linked.
I tried checking on 'Edit -- Links' it only shows the source but not the
destination cells.

Any help to find the destination cells pls? - Thanks

Cheers !

This is a ridiculous solution. Simply open the Find search box and search for
square brackets [ or ]. Every link has one in it, this is the easiest and
quickest way to find a link in an Excel file.

Then you haven't used links very often.

Links can be difficult to find and they can hide in places where Edit|Find can't
look.

And if the links are in defined names?

What then?
